IF ONLY THY MAKE NEO A RWD CAR IT WILL BE A GOOD DRIFT CAR SOB..

OK, another Karamjit promo drive. It looks crazy fun but actually not diffcult to do. Its just a slalom with two U-turns. Handbrake is required of course but more important is the getting back on power(i.e. 1st gear) when coming out of the U-turn pivot. Making the manuver smooth is another matter(U need to have Karamjit's world rally experience to do it smoothly).

As you can see, it is probably easier for Karamjit to do it on the hybrid rally car because it's got better traction(4WD and active differentials) and faster steering rack. The donut is also a piece of cake with that much power…

Yo guys,

Neo handling memang bestla… I tested oredi.. memang mantap.. everything felt so solid during my test drive.. suspension oso very good.. the best test drive for proton car so far… memang value for money.. solidness & performance cant compare to myvi… I goin to wait for the 4 doors version…

ps: Neo tuned for "GARANG" driving & high speed long distance… A tiger indeed…

hhmmm…yup xxxxavier…which part u said it???

Maybe there's some problem with my eyes xxxxavier, but I can't see any resemblance the Satria Neo has to the 323 other than it's got 4 wheels. And it's just your speculation that the designers at Proton copied from the Mazda. "Neo" means "a new form", it's not a special name, any car can use that name, maybe we will get Waja Neo next, depending on Proton, and they still won't get any lawsuits for copying, cause they didn't.

Well, I went to the showroom today for a look at this Neo. It impressed me actually when i sit into the car. I think the materials used this time is really better than before. But I think the glove box got some problems as its seems not practical enough… big hands can't get things deep inside. and have to press it to open… not practical enough… and the door lock… built it shorter then it won't break easily… others I just hv nothing to say… see if I got chance to test drive or not next week… and hope the car won't hv any quality problems in the future…

funny thing is, doesnt seem to look like a mazda neo aka ford tx3 at all. proton chose the name neo, coz its from the thousand + year old greek word "new", which is basically, new satria. its not an original name invented by mazda, so i dont think its fair to say proton copied mazda.

if ford built the GT first, and then porsche built their GT, does it mean porsche copied ford?

Can't help but notice that the Satria Neo is somehow based on the Mazda 323 series. Especially the name, NEO… which got me to check it out and I noticed that there are design resemblance between the Satria and my friend's Mazda 323c, or Mazda NEO 94-95 model… hence the name NEO. I haveta hand the congrats for Proton to try something 'NEW'. The Mazda Neo came out around 94' and the Satria Neo – 2006! 12 years later… Hmmms. Why can't we come out with less copied or original designs? Are our Proton designers so 'terrible' in their designs or does the problem lie with the people on top?! I'm just disappointed. And a special mention for the superbly plastic-coated interior! A Gen-2 look-alike! Alamak! Tsk Tsk Tsk!

engtaokia, no offence to you dude. but i just dont get the point of your comments.

1.what is so special about what those Saabs did that no other car with 4 wheels and handbrake can't do? The drivers make it happen, not the car.

in all fairness, those guys are fulltime specialist precision drivers. kudos to them. but in fairness to Karam, he is not. he is a rally driver. do you think if you put those saab guys in a rally car, they can win the world rally championship? most probably not.

hey BigJoe, that Daihatsu Sonica seems very nice! new engine from Daihatsu somemore, unlike our god damn perodua engines.

Taxi: i dont hav any SAAB to do that stunt lah even if i got, i wont use it to make any dangerous stunt to like INITIAL D LONGKAU DRIFT. :O

By: Bigjoe

Bigjoe — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 13:01:27 +0000

The Daihatsu Sonica does not really compete with this car. If Produa comes up with something like Toyota Aygo, my prediction, it will take sales from this pretty quickly especially if it comes with a diesel engine too.

Campro CPS still not confirmed when to be launched.

Taxi — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 09:10:03 +0000

engtaokia, you are right….Satria can't do it but SAAB driver can! BTW, what car are you driving? Can your car do that as well? Maybe you can lah?

guys, most of the time, gearbox is the most expensive part on any car be it manual or auto.

By: tanasi

tanasi — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 08:32:03 +0000

The biggest challenge of developing a manual transmission box is, in my opinion, in the areas of NVH and durability. And the cost of this alone, in my opinion, can easily match the money Proton spent on developing and testing the Campro engine.

BTW Paul, do you have any clue as to when Proton will release the Campro CPS? Heard that they've improved the torque dip and increased the power a bit with CPS and variable intake manifold. Appreciate any info.
